It was published in 2003 in CS38, as part of the CoiF kit (Convoys in Flames).
It is the SUB with the 0 in a purple square below.

I predict it will be one of the most looked-up write-ups.

P.S. I know, it launched a plane for recon....mostly.

The sub's max altitude was 120 meters; max duration was 75 seconds. On landing it was destroyed, hence its nickname as kamikaze-sub.

No, unfortunately it's not.
On the other hand, the Surcouf is a lone ship, while there were a number of Japanese SUBs with a floatplane.
